Twin FrozrMSI’s Twin Frozr series has been the definition of graphics card coolers in the PC industry. Kicking off the dual-fan trend, MSI today stays true to its design offering the best thermal and acoustic performance in its class.

Two powerful 10cm radius Torx Fans provide massive airflow thanks to the new dispersion blade, instantly reducing noise by about 5% compared to previous generation’s designs. This reduces temperatures by about 10°C at maximum fan speed compared to the Twin Frozr IV Advanced.

Under those fans lies a massive heat-sink with Airflow Control Technology which covers 90% of the fans diameter. Connected to the GPU is MSI’s special SuperSU Architecture which allows the SuperPipes and regular size heat pipes to do their work more effectively.

Excellent GPU.Went into store to purchase this card. I had a GTX 660 Ti before, also from MSI. This card is fantastic, it automatically has provided a massive boost over my 660Ti. This can play all modern (2014 at the time of writing this) games at easy 1080p high/max settings and that is without any overclocking!
MSI are known for having amazing coolers, and running this card on max settings on BF4 has this card between 55-65C which is absolutely fine for GPUs, they can take much higher temperatures than CPUs.
For value, this is definitely the best GPU you can buy. Better than a Titan Black and an R9 290X and cheaper!

What sort of connection does this take off the PSU?

Technically it's two questions,; 1; Would I need to upgrade my PSU - current PSU 500w CiT that comes with the CiT Shade Case, if so, what would I need? 2' Will this work on a Asus M5A78L-M LX3 motherboard?&nbsp;

Asked by: Smarty092

500w may be ok to use with this card, however it does depend on all the other components inside your PC. Add up their wattage and add 148w for this card - if it it is under 500w then it will be ok. One other point to double check is that your current power supply has a spare 6pin and a spare 8pin pci power connector. If not then I would recommend the following PSU:

Your motherboard is compatible with this card.
